Life and times of Craig on Planet Earth: Crescent Bar Cousin weekend!

My second trip to Crescent bar this summer was a little different. Cap came up from California!

He parked at my place and I drove us over. I decided to put my beach cruiser on the roof rack in case we needed an extra means of transportation.

We arrived Friday evening. We had dinner at the Sand Trap. It was really crowded because of the pre season football game. Oh and I met Bill Wixey, q13 news anchor when we arrived. Very friendly guy!

Anyway, the service was extra bad today. I ordered a Caesar salad. Menu indicated I could add chicken for $3.00. I did not. Of course my salad came with Chicken!   sigh...

After dinner we went to Dan and Tonys trailer to get ready for the evening. Dan gave Cap a tour ,while Tony and I prepared the beds.

We stayed up much too late of course. It got really windy later, we went down to the river around 11 and it was too windy.

I joke that every weekend at Crescent Bar is like a tv show. Last episode a few weeks ago, it was all about the neighbors faulty prop. Oh the discussion! heated debates! on and on and on and on and on they talked about his guys prop. The guy who owns the boat wasn't even there. Didn't matter, these people were going to solve the problem. Ha ha. I left early Sunday and missed the ending!

This episode was the Bear! yep, a Bear came down from the hills, most likely because of the fires in the area. The whole park quiclly spread the news from home to home.   The game wardens arrived around noon to try to find the bear. They left around 4, empty handed. About 5 pm, the dang Bear popped out of the brush two trailers down from Dan! It was a big bear, 6 -7 feet tall. He quickly ran back into the brush.
The next am the wardens were back.   Not sure how it turned out. Also, goflers reported wild turkeys on the golf course. Same as the bear, they assume the animals are lost or displaced from the fires.

On Saturday it was raiing when I awoke. It didn't get nice till around noon. The high was 85 degrees. Last time I was here it was 101. We finally got the boat out on the river around 5 when everyone was coming back in! We toured the river. The wind died down, it was very nice out there. I went swimming by the party beach.. We could see the crowds coming in to the Gorge Amphitheater for the Black Sabbath show that night.
